Linus,

please pull the latest x86-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-urgent-for-linus

This update contains:

 - Expand the space for uncompressing as the LZ4 worst case does not fit
   into the currently reserved space.

 - Validate boot parameters more strictly to prevent out of bound access in
   the decompressor/boot code.

 - Fix off by one errors in get_segment_base().

Thanks,

	tglx
